Zeal.
From the BOSTON TRANSCRIPT.


There is a suburban church situated not
far from very attractive and fashionablv
patronized Stun. which makes a practice.
each Easter Sunday, after the Sunday
school services, of distributing the greater
part of the flowers that have served in the
decoration of the church among the poor
children of the school This distribution is
almost as popular with the street children
as is the Christmas distribution of gifts and
confectionery.
Yesterday afternoon, after the mass of
the children had been given a few flowers.
the Sunday school superintendent saw two
hoodlumish small boys whom he did not
recognize standing near by very wistfully,
caps in hand

HIS COLLARS AND CUFFS.
The Heir Presumptive to the Throne
Of England.

LONDON, March 26-Some of the society
papers have limited at a scandal in high
London society which affected directly one
of the members of the royal family, Every
one here understands and talks freely about
what none of the English papers have ven
tured to more than hint at. The story,
stripped of all its improbable features, re-
lates to a temporary separation between
Lord Randolph Churchill and his VIE. IL
| Is question whether this separation VIII
| become permanent or not. Lord ian
dolph Churchill resigned from the Cabinet
on account of this domestic difference. 1t
is understood, when his wife goes to New
York, as she now intends to do within
few weeks, that he will return to London,
and that place will again be made Tor nm
in the administration. It is said here that
Lord Randolph Churchill is very VAN,
irritable and jealous individual and that he
went of in a tit of rage to the Continent on
account of having discovered that Prlnce
Edward of Wales, the eldest son OF the
Prince of Wales, was infatuated with Lady
Churchill, and that his attentions to her had
given rise to much talk This young
Prince, who is regarded as the next Eng
llsh King, since every one believes that the
Queen Will outlive the Prince Of Wales, is
youth of feeble mind and is the constant
butt of all the Radical papers. He IS only
three and twenty and is such typical dude
in his manners and dress that he IS known
among Radical writers as collars and
cuffs" The young Prince was ordered Oft
to Malta juso after Lord Randolph Church
ills departure He was detached from the
Prince OF Wales own regiment, the Tenth
Hussars, and ordered to JOIN the Sixtieth
Rifles. He left last week under the guar
dianship Of Capt. Greville apd one other
equerry This is the first time, it is said,
that the heir presumptive to the throne has
been sent off on foreign duty. The young
man has evidently been put through Sc
we're course of discipline. He has been lee
tured by his grandmother, the Queen, and
by his father and mother. The malady OF
the young Prince rs regarded simply as a Sc
we're case of "calf love" Lady Randolph
Churchill is blamed 10y no one beyond the
point that she should perhaps have snubbed
the young man before he had made such
public exhibition of his sentiments. She ev-
identity was restrained by her regard for his
father and mother The proof that there is
not the slightest blame to be attached to
Lady Randolph is shown in the very gra-
cious reception given to her by the Queen at
the last drawing room and by the very
marked attentions which have been paid to
her by the Prince and Princess of Wales
since Lord Randolphs departure. Every
one blames the latter for his absurd
jealousy, and charges his foolish departure
To the Continent to his excessive vanity and
ilrtability. He is the butt of number of
jokes since it has been discovered that he has
been quarantne1 in small place in Italy
for the last month, owing to his having
passed through a rural district in Sicily
which was infected with cholera

from sick bed to keep his
Augusta appointment and came here in
spite of the advice OF his physicians, who
also advised him not to attempt to speak to-
day. A servant at the Phinizy residence re-
ports that the General is quiet, but very
sick. Friends of the Governor say he has

sequences is over. kilograms from all over
the country are pouring in inquiring as to
his condition

Strange Assault on q woman Called
to Her Door at Columbus.
COLUMBUS, GA, April 26.-About II
o'clock last night some one rang the door
bell at Mrs. Edna Mullen's residence. Mrs.
Mullen answered the ring in person. When
she opened the door she was struck q
terrible blow on the head by a
man who quickly disappeared in the
darkness. The blow produced bad scalp
wound, from which the blood flowed freely,
and an investigation showed that it had
been made with a piece of plank about feet
In length. 1t was most unwieldy weapon,
and on this account it came i'll contact with
the oor-facing, thus breaking the force of
a blow which would otherwise have proved
fatal Mrs. Mullen says she has seen the
man before and would know him again.
The police are working up the case.
Most of the business houses in this city
were closed this afternoon in honor of the
dead heroes The memorial address was
delivered by S. Price Gilbert at the Opera
house, at which place standing room was
hardly obtainabe. Immense crowds fol-
lowed the military to the cemetery, where
the usual salutes were fired and the soldiers
graves decorated with flowers.
The Columbus fire department will hold
its annual parade and contest May 3.
